Ever since Barack Obama announced that he would be getting his daughters Malia and Sasha a puppy, dog-lovers have speculated on the breed of the future First Pooch. But we suspect the perfect dog for the Obamas is, in fact, a robot. A robotic pet won’t aggravate Malia’s allergies, and it would help solidify Obama’s position as the technology president. Here are ten real robotic pets that the Obamas should consider making a part of the First Family.G-DogPrice: $705 Features: Once assembled, G-Dog takes commands from a wireless remote to perform a basic set of canine commands. Pros: Some assembly required, so the girls will learn a little something before they can play with their new mechanized pet. Cons: G-Dog lacks the autonomy of a real dog. Plus, it’s pretty ugly.

Dacky the Healing PartnerPrice: $149.99 Features: Dacky reacts to petting thanks to its internal sensors. It also asks about your day, sings karaoke, and appears to learn up to 650 words of Japanese. Pros: Not only is Dacky furrier than most robotic pets, it could encourage the girls to learn a foreign language. Cons: Only comes in elitist purebred retriever.
